Have you ever wondered what it is that really makes a computer a
computer? What does boolean algebra have to do with it? What are logic
gates? Are flip-flops more than something you wear on your feet at the
beach? Here is your chance to learn something about what is inside of that
box on your desk. There will be a quiz before the talk.

Our speaker for the Thursday October 15th breakfast, Mark DiVecchio
has worked as a computer hardware designer for way too long. He was
first introduced to the flip-flop in the guise of a 12AT7 back in 1965. Since
then, he has designed computers ranging from massively parallel machines
which filled rooms down to microprocessors that would get lost in the
clutter of his desk. His company, Silogic Systems, provides hardware and
software design engineering services.

The seminars are open to anyone interested. We hope to use these
seminars to learn more about what ICCA members and associates are
doing in their technical business and, of course, to increase our
membership roster.

PLEASE NOTE: We must pay one check so bring exact change which we
will collect before breakfast. Check-in will begin at 7:15 with breakfast at
7:30. The presentation will begin at 8:15 and the seminar will conclude 
promptly at 9:00.

UPCOMING SPEAKERS: Nov 19 - Larry Marine, Dec 17 - John
Pantone, Jan 21 - Open. If you would like more information or if you
would like to speak at a future seminar, call Mark DiVecchio at 549-9841.

I would have liked to have gone.  Earlier posting would have made that
possible.  Catch you next time.
